Most influential Spanish person ever - your vote counts!

[Fiera]

As suggested by Jay Bee, let's divide this into cathegories so that's easier for us to decide. I want your input, eh?

These are the cathegories:

1. Ancient / Middle Ages (since the beginning till circa 1475)

1.a. Visual Arts
1.b. Literature
1.c. Philosophy/Religion
1.d. Politics/Military
1.e. Science


2. Rise of the Spanish Empire (circa 1475-1600)

2.a. Visual Arts
2.b. Literature
2.c. Philosophy/Religion
2.d. Politics/Military
2.e. Science


3. The Golden Century (17th Century)

3.a. Visual Arts
3.b. Literature
3.c. Philosophy/Religion
3.d. Politics/Military
3.e. Science


4. Our dark centuries (18th and 19th Centuries)

4.a. Visual Arts
4.b. Literature
4.c. Philosophy/Religion
4.d. Politics/Military
4.e. Science


5. Contemporary (till today)

4.a. Visual Arts
4.b. Literature
4.c. Philosophy/Religion
4.d. Politics/Military
4.e. Science


So that makes 25 cathegories. Alles klar, Jay Bee?

Uber alles sig heil Becken bauer, jah!

Oh, you're missing Science. The Gibraltarian may be right that we were not much into science, but a bit at least... that we did, yeah

Oh, I thought that was an English expression... Painting + Sculpture + Architecture, no?

Oh, and science... cómo se nota que soy de letras... Bueno, si quieres vota también por science, yo creo que no merec la pena ponerlo porque, aunque tenemos algunos cientÃficos importantes, me temo que la elección no estarÃa muy disputada...

[Jay Bee]

Yes, you're right. I just wanted to make sure. I would have had painting separate from the others though. If we excel in something that's painting. No doubt about it.

As for science, you're right again (the gibraltarian, too but still I think we should have that section.

PS. Se te ocurre algun cambio mas?

[Jay Bee]

Definitely, I like my new avatar. Nobody could tell about the Osborne bull anyway

Creo que no. Prefiero no separar pintura y lo demás, por no tener demasiadas categorÃas... Quiero decir, a los no españoles les va a costar encontrar candidato para más de una de las que ya tenemos, mejor no incluir más...

At least the ones that have been in Spain... I had grown to love your old avatar... El Capitán Trueno was fine too.

Por cierto, sabes que el Madrid ha perdido el Trofeo Bernabéu?

[Jay Bee]

Hawk Eye.

Just add science and let's start out with our nominations. Deal?

No jugaban ni Figo, ni Zidane, ni Roberto Carlos, ni Savio. Pero sà que es verdad que en general andan un poco bajos de forma. En especial Raúl. Me preocupa, creo que le ha sentádo mal la llegada de Zidane.

Added science and put together Philosophy + Religion. Let`s get started!

In case there are other mortals allowed to post here, I'd stick with Picasso for contemporary visual arts... (I have seen first and second graders talk about him, in contrary to Goya, which simply is why...)
Cervantes is an obvious choice for "Rise of the Spanish Empire" literature, imho

BTW, how do you like my new avatar (it's supposed to praise my German descendance )?

Hey, of course, we want to know the world's opinion!

I like it, but it would look better if you made the background transparent, IMHO...
